Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway

The Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway is a 17.3-mile portion of Interstates Interstate 95 and 395 in Virginia. It was built from 1941 to 1952, and it was named in honor for the head of the Virginia Department of Highways, who died before the project could be completed. It connects Colchester in the south to the Potomac River border with Washington DC in the north.
